How did the legal system in this case ultimately go from...


... almost not jailing the offenders at all (saying the system doesn't prosecute female offenders for such a deed) to in the end giving them officially 30 years? What was filled with the leafing gap here?

Was one of the offenders also jailed for such a long time was because somehow police has discovered other similar and related crimes committed by her?

I'm not saying I disagree with it or anything, and let's for the sake of argument take a neutral territory, theoretically at best.

But I find it interesting how throughout the film, the legal system is all like "we can't jail them at all etc" because of how, say, imperfect on a practical level the whole system is. And then at the very END, its like, once some work here and there is done, its like almost out of the blue and all of a sudden - "Bam, jail the offenders for 30 YEARS".

Often in life people and authorities decide on punishment like straight away. And then all of a sudden...

How does it work? Cheers.

P.S. And just what an inexplicably sensitive and pressing hot issue on not just a legal but mostly a SOCIAL LEVEL the very theme and subject of 'sexual abuse' in our life ultimately IS, and today, for one, it arguably hasn't left ANYONE "indifferent", at least, not for the MOST part. No matter the gender (or sex) of culprit or the affected victim. Dear God!
